Agreed Marty. I did specifically mention a "winter pack boot" versus a typical 3-season hiker however. I suspect you could get both sizes to work on a 10.5 pack boot, but now I'm a little concerned as to whether a large would be too loose and not stay on as well. As you pointed out, I think...

For what it's worth, I contacted Kahtoola support directly in regards to sizing. Based on wearing a 10.5 winter pack boot myself, they recommended a large. - Bill

I ordered a pair from Zappos Monday night for my wife and I surprisingly received them on Tuesday. I was expecting Wednesday as the order was placed later in the evening. She'll be testing them out on Jackson this weekend. If all goes well, I'm going to order a pair for myself. They look...

Hi Marty, I currently bring 200-weight fleece pants in case of an emergency, but I've been planning to pickup some insulated pants that have a full length zipper for convenience. I've been eyeballing the Patagonia Micro Puff pants as they have the full length zipper and they only weigh 14...

Hiked the Pierce-Mizpah loop with my wife and friend. Pierce

I've also read on one of the forums that Canon will be releasing an 18-55IS and 55-250IS lens. New Lenses Some of you may be interested in this updated lens as well: Updated 14mm - Bill

Nice shots Darren. I like the clearly visible footprints in the first shot. - Bill

Some shots with my new Tamron lens. Darren, please don't hammer me for not going with the 17-40mm. :-) Tammy Shots Slideshow

Very nice pictures. What lens were you using on your 20D? - Bill

I agree totally. I like the idea of using a prime lens. Working under the constraints of a fixed focal length forces me to be a little more creative and put a little more thought into my composition. - Bill

Thanks Doug. I just went back through all my portrait shots and almost all of them were taking with a shutter speed between 1/25-1/60. The sharpest portraits were done with 1/320 shutter speed and F/4.5 f-stop. Based on the reciprocal rule for shutter speed with my lens, (50mm * 1.6 = 1/80)...

Good feedback Tim. Thanks. What do you think about this shot? I think this one tends to put more emphasis on the train and less on Mt. Washington. Train

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Finally, some great weather! Some pics below for C&C. As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks! For full high-resolution shots, please goto the album. Lesson learned this weekend: With my 50mm 1.4 lens, (maybe all lenses) portraits...

There are plenty of free / inexpensive photo editing programs out there. I'm currently using Adobe Lightroom for my entire workflow. You can download a 30-day evaluation copy from Adobe if you want to play around with it. Lightroom 30-day Evaluation You just need to create a quick account...

Yet another perspective.....I left in more dark clouds as Nartreb had suggested, but cropped more from the right of the image. Another perspective

For me personally, the excessive amount of clouds in the image had nothing interesting to offer. Leaving them in just to satisfy a rule of thirds isn't something that I've been practicing. This is all personal preference however. If they had been white puffy clouds against a bright blue sky...

Hi Bobby, I'm only a newbie myself but I think it looks pretty decent. I hope you don't mind but I went ahead and made some cropping and other post-processing adjustments to my liking. For me personally, the abundancy of clouds in the image was detracting my attention from the boy. I also...

I've taken some of your recommendations and made one last attempt at post-processing. The primary focus was to increase contrast, add cropping adjustments, and increase color saturation for specific color channels. It's now time for a couple of cold ones. Thanks again everyone for all your...

Wow. Good work Kevin. Sounds a little too advanced for me though. :-) Although I have PS CS3, I'm currently using LR for my entire workflow. Now you've got me itching to dive back into LR and take another stab at some of these images. :-) - Bill
